4-Zone Mouse Sensor
Integration Guide
1.0 Introduction
The 4-zone Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) paired with a suitable actuator can be implemented as
a finger-actuated "mouse" pointing module. This pointing module provides accurate 360-degree
mouse control. Users control direction by applying pressure in the direction of the desired
movement and adjust speed by altering the amount of pressure on the device.
The purpose of this document is to guide users through the successful integration of a USB
controller chip (microprocessor) and the Interlink Electronics 4-zone FSR.
2.0 Scope
This Integration Guide provides the OEM integrator with all of the necessary technical information
to successfully integrate the Interlink Electronics 4-zone FSR and USB microcontroller chip into
products such as:
 NEMA-rated industrial pointing devices
 industrial
keyboards
 military
computers
Sensor and chip part numbers are detailed in section 10.
